Fatal Bicycle Accidents in Arizona 

Per a report released by the National Traffic Highway Administration, nearly 48,000 bicyclists were injured in accidents across the country. Additionally, Arizona leads the nation in cycling accidents, with a large number of such incidents attributed to the state’s dry, warm climate and cycling-friendly streets. But cycling accidents are rising overall nationwide due to rising fuel and vehicle costs.

Bicycle accidents often result in serious or even fatal consequences. When victims are killed in these accidents, which often occur due to the negligence of other drivers, families are left to pick up the pieces.
